BIDDING

With the bidding re-starting if someone biddings after the 15 secs .. it is hard to get a good deal.. unless you sit and wait for the auction you want.. they controll the times better for the auctions.. not too many at late nights.. I as a dealer for 2 brands have about $10,000 - $15,000 in stock of machines... from 20 ..110cc .. 2 .. 125.. 2 150 cc.. 2 200cc 1 250 cc.. 1 300 cc.. 1 500cc.. 4 150 cc dune buggys.. 4 250 cc dune buggys.. 1 150 lambo.. 1 beer kart.. 1 200 go kart.. 1 140 cc dirt bike. 4 x31.. 2 x 35.. 1 125 cc dirt bike.. and the season is almost over.. I have put most of them away for the winter now.. but as you say the prices are good to buy for the up coming season.. next year for most of us.. you have to wonder sometimes about the person bidding you up on the site..

WOW, i've seen it all now, last week the 110cc Mini ATV's went from $93 to $130ish, just watched a 2 man battle to $407, there's a sucker born every minute i guess.

Was just crusing my local kijiji and was really wondering where this guy gets "kits" to convert an off road motorcycle to "road fit"

Every now and again you see one of those bids go crazy like that.

1995 for a bike that sells for 800 delivered, some wholesale deal there.

call me paranoid but I think they have fake accounts to drive up prices.
Yes I discovered you will never win a bid by autobidding. I had that happen to me over and over on the mini atv perf. exhausts. If I didn't bid they'd go for 3-7 bucks, the instant I autobid I'd lose by one dollar every time, usually at about $12-15. I haven't bought anything for a while, but now I try to play the swoop in at the last moment, if nobody else is bidding.

holy crap batman, 4 grand for a 200cc gio beast.. you could go and get a honda trx250r for about a grand more..

or a trx250x for 400 more..

i know that some china quads are getting better in quality, but if the prices are going to come with in say 1500 or less of a name brand quad. its just not worth it to buy china, even if you have to make payments ob a quad cuz you are 2000 short or even 1000 short. most places offer what woodsfuncenter offers. no interst for 2yrs so its like 100 a month to pay it off..

i like my china quad but dont get me wrong if i had 4 grand to buy a quad with id go for that 250x linked above.. hell if you are 500 short off paying it off the day you buy it, most dealers like woods would cut the 500 difference off..

ya when i was bidding on gio's site, its hard as hell to get performance shocks. cuz you get this dude named opie who bids on every single performance shock auction there is.

its one thing to set a high bid, but its another to set a high bid on every single auction of one type.. thats why i just gave up and figured id end up buying shocks off ebay

Lol, I think the auctions are rigged... How can you lose by one bid every time? Just kidding and no offence to our sponsor, John has always treated me well

Cheers!
Stew

X35 can be had for around $900 it seems. I have no idea why I keep bidding on them... Some sort of weird addiction. They usually go a bid or two higher than what I bid. D/S works better for me cause I don't have to haul them around like a dirt bike, but they just look so darn cool!

Cheers,
Stew
